In the middle of the night, a shuttle turned on its silent navigation system and stealthily landed in the hills a hundred or so kilometers away from Old Porters factory.
Sonny opened the sealed cabin and jumped out of the shuttle. Following Xia Fei's instructions, he did not turn on any of the night lights, instead relying on the navigation system to land in the dark.
Xia Fei silently walked out from behind the wreckage of a spaceship and whispered, Sonny, Im here.
Sonny shuddered, clutching his heart with his hand. Boss, why is there no sound at all when you're walking? You scared me to death.
Xia Fei walked up to the shuttle and hopped on. Lets get out of here first.
The shuttle stealthily left the ground and slowly made its way back. Only when it was a good distance away from Old Potter's factory did Sonny turn off the silent flight mode. The shuttle let out a series of roars as it sped away.
Where are we going? Sonny asked with some doubt. He did not know why Xia Fei had asked him to pick him up in the middle of the night and where they were headed.
Do you know where Old Ks house is? Xia Fei asked.
Sonny flicked his wrist, and the shuttle shook violently in the air. Old Ks was a pirate in the past! What he did was murder and plunder. Though he's retired, he still has plenty of subordinates under him, and he's the most powerful man in the entire warship graveyard. What are you planning?
Xia Fei shook his head. I dont care about his past or present. All I need to know is where his house is.
The entire warship graveyard knew about Old Porters situation, and Sonny was no exception. He could vaguely guess what Xia Fei was planning, but he could not be sure.
After flying for about half an hour, Sonny turned on the silent navigation system of the shuttle and glided in the air for another twenty minutes before landing on the deck of an abandoned warship.
This is as far as I can send you. Old Ks house is about 150 kilometers due south. His house will be lit up with bright searchlights all night, so it'll be very easy to tell, Sonny said.
Xia Fei observed his surroundings and pointed to a valley to the west. Wait for me there. If Im still not back by daybreak, take the shuttle back home.
Shawn did not dare to ask too many questions. He nodded heavily. "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Xia Fei smiled and patted Sonny on the shoulder before jumping off the shuttle. He lowered his body and headed south at a speed of 150m/s.
A few moments later, a spacious mansion appeared in front of Xia Fei.
In the barren warship graveyard, such a large and luxurious building was unique. The huge building made of white stone covered an area of twenty thousand square meters.
A five-meter-high wall surrounded the building in the middle. There were towers at regular intervals, and inside the towers were armed guards.
More than a dozen large searchlights not only illuminated the interior of the palace, but also scanned the situation outside the walls along a fixed path.
Xia Fei calculated in his mind that there would be a nine-point-three second gap between the sweep of the searchlight. Though it was very short, it was more than enough for Xia Fei, who had the speed ability.
Xia Fei put on the Windshade Mark IV headgear, revealing only his eyes and mouth.
Using the old warships around him as cover, Xia Fei quickly made his way toward the mansion.
There was an open space in front of the wall, and Xia Fei hid behind a small warship, counting the time in his heart.
A beam of light swept past him, and Xia Fei took advantage of this gap to quickly move, arriving at the bottom of the wall in the blink of an eye.
Pressing a button on his waist, several hair-thin spikes suddenly extended from his gloves and boots. Xia Fei was like a gecko as he climbed to the top of the wall in a few steps, quickly scanning the interior of the wall with his eyes.
Inside the wall was a large garden made of green plants, and a few guards were lazily walking on the road, yawning as they walked.
Xia Fei flipped over the wall and silently landed in the garden. With one hand on the ground, he began to search for the entrance to the mansion.
The white mansion had a total of three floors, and the square building had distinct corners. There was a watchtower at each of the four corners, and there were guards on duty at the watchtower.
There was a glass door on the north and south sides, and the east side was the entrance to the underground garage, while the west side had an empty space where an Amma-executioner-class frigate was parked.
Pressing a very small button on his visor, a thin red goggles suddenly appeared in front of his left eye. This was the night vision and scanning system of the Windshade Mark IV suit.
The scanning system immediately began to work, analyzing the situation and turning it into a weak beam of light that hit Xia Fei's retina.
The front door, the back door, and the garage were all equipped with electronic guards, and Xia Fei could clearly see a multi-colored scanning beam moving at high speed at the entrance. Anyone who tried to enter would be discovered.
Every window, including the walls, and even the top floor were also equipped with electronic guards, completely sealing off the entire building. There was no way to enter at all.
Xia Fei gritted his teeth and waited patiently in the grass.
Time slowly passed, and Xia Fei stayed in the garden for more than an hour. That was when a black hovercar suddenly drove in from the main entrance, looking like it was about to enter the garage.
Xia Fei placed both his hands on the ground, and the muscles in his legs tensed. His body was very low, almost lying on the ground, like a cheetah ready to pounce.
The hovercar drove very slowly, following the circular path in the courtyard.
When the hovercar neared the garden, Xia Fei's legs suddenly exerted force, and his whole body shot out like a bullet!
* Whoosh! *
His body was stretched into a straight line, like a thin razor blade, and the tip of his nose was only a centimeter away from the ground.
Xia Fei's body scraped the ground as he slid underneath the hovercar, like a flying saucer gliding across the ground, fast and silent.
* Pa! *
His two palms turned outward, and he used the barbs on his gloves to lightly hook onto the chassis of the hovercar. His two legs formed a figure eight, and the barbs on the side of his combat boots also pierced into the alloy chassis, and Xia Fei's whole body was instantly sucked onto it!
All of this took only a few tenths of a second, and the two people in the hovercar did not even realize it.
The hovercar stopped in front of the garage, and the blonde man driving the car stuck his head out and waved at the surveillance camera. The door slowly opened, and the electronic guards were temporarily deactivated.
The hovercar drove into the garage and parked next to the other luxury hovercars.
When the hovercar system was deactivated, it would suddenly drop to the ground. If Xia Fei did not quickly escape, he would be crushed into meat paste by the hovercar that weighed several tons.
Xia Fei's two hands lightly moved, and his body twisted in an unimaginable way, silently making his way out from the back of the hovercar, which happened to be the blind spot of the driver's seat.
Stepping on the ground, Xia Fei nimbly hid behind another car.
The blonde man in the driver's seat turned off the engine and got out of the car to open the door to the backseat. Mr. Qin, please follow me. Old K is waiting for you on the third floor.
A man who looked to be in his forties came out from the backseat. This man had a plump build and was dressed in a neat suit. He had a rosy red nose, and his two beady eyes shone with a crafty glint.
The blonde man led Mr. Qin up the stairs. When the sound of their footsteps disappeared, Xia Fei vigilantly checked his surroundings to make sure that there was no surveillance system before he stood up.
Old K's external defenses were impenetrable, but there was no surveillance system installed in the rooms. Presumably, he did not like being watched in his own home, so the security in the mansion was not very tight.
Xia Fei followed the stairs up, his body pressed tightly against the wall, his ears carefully listening to every sound.
The first floor was the living room and dining room. The lights were dim, and there was no one around, so Xia Fei made his way to the second floor.
Xia Fei leaned against the wall and took out a very small mirror from his spatial ring. He placed it in the hallway and used the reflection to observe the situation.
All he saw was that blonde man and a bodyguard with a gun standing at the foot of the stairs, chatting.
Aside from Old K and Qin Sanshui, who is the other person? When he walked past me, I only felt a chill around me, and all the hairs on my body stood up. The bodyguard curiously asked.
The blonde man chuckled and gestured a gun with his finger, pointing it at the bodyguard's head. You will naturally know what you need to know. Dont ask too many questions and be careful of your head.
Yes, yes, youre right. Its better to know less.
The blonde man pondered for a moment. Porters factory is about to collapse, right?
Soon. For the past few days, Old K has been dealing heavy blows. Yesterday, he cleaned up all of Porters workers, and today, he even got someone to set off a mine. From what I can see, Porters won't be able to hold out for more than a few days.
Actually, they should have done this from the start. Why not just get someone to capture that old bastard who doesnt know what is good for him? Why go through so much trouble? Say, dont you think Old K has some misgivings?
The golden-haired man smiled and pointed at the bodyguard's head. "Old Wu, why don't you change your old habit of inquisitiveness?"
Elder Wu grinned and slapped his forehead. "Look at this mouth of mine. Damn it, damn it."
Xia Fei quietly put away the mirror. The stairway to the third floor was already blocked by these two men. How was he supposed to go up?
His eyes flashed, and Xia Fei suddenly noticed that there was a small elevator diagonally across from him. Every wealthy household had their own chef, and they would use this small elevator to send their meals upstairs.
Xia Fei's eyes lit up as he had an idea.
The distance from the stairway to the food elevator diagonally across was less than ten meters. If Xia Fei ran at full speed, he would only need one-fortieth of a second. Furthermore, the location of the small elevator happened to be in the blind spot of the two bodyguards.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Fei found an opportunity to flash past the stairway, gently opened the door of the small elevator, and entered it.
This food elevator was very narrow, barely able to accommodate a single person. Xia Fei quickly climbed up to the third floor by holding onto the wall with both hands.
Using his finger to gently open a gap, Xia Fei peeked inside.
The third floor was not like the first and second floors, which were divided into rooms with different functions. Instead, it was one.
The large room was brightly lit, and there were two people sitting on the sofa discussing something. Xia Fei was behind them, so he could only see their backs.
The one sitting in the middle should be Old K. There were only a few sparse white hairs on his head, while the one on the right was that middle-aged man called Qin Sanshui.
Did you understand what I said? Old K asked.
Qin Sanshui nodded repeatedly. Old K, you called me here in the middle of the night. I thought it was something big, but you could have just given me a call. You can rest assured that from tomorrow onwards, not a single package from the express company will enter Potter's factory. The director of the Interplanetary Spaceship Administration is my brother-in-law. As long as I give him a call, I guarantee that not a single ship from Old Porters will be registered.
Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows. It seemed that they were trying to isolate Old Porters, trying to restrict him from the inside out and force him to submit.
Old K handed Qin Sanshui a thick envelope. The man was extremely excited, thanking him profusely as he left.
Just as Qin Sanshui left, a man wearing a black trench coat walked out from a secret door. This man looked to be in his thirties, had a large hooked nose, and had two eyes that revealed an ominous glint.
"This is your idea?" The hook-nosed man sneered.
Old K sighed. Mountain Hawk, youre not familiar with Porters character. There is no use in using force against such people. All you can do is force him into a corner bit by bit and make him hand over the thing on his own. If you use force, he might just end up in a life and death struggle, and when that time comes, the gains will not make up for the losses.
Mountain Hawk sat beside Old K and said in a neutral tone, Perhaps what you say makes sense, but my patience is about to run out. I can only wait for three more days. If youre still unable to get that overclocking chip in three days, Ill have no choice but to take action myself.
Old K smiled as he picked up his wine glass and took a sip. The warship graveyard is my territory, after all; it is not your place to interfere.
Old K displayed the qualities of an old pirate, unceremoniously retaliating against Mountain Hawk.
Mountain Hawk was slightly taken aback as he smiled. Dont be angry, Old K. Ill do as you say.
He nodded lightly. "I'll help you get what you want. What about the thing I want?"
